Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. ~Soren Kierkegaard

I have only recently begun to trace the cousins in addition to direct ancestors. This has provided me with some background for my family...who lived in the neighborhood, when them emigrated, what the family did for a living...etc.

I am sorta new at this, ihave most of Slayton done, which is my faternal grandmother's family (IRA SLAYTON, married WALTER BABB)......But nothing at all for LULA BELL TRAIL, (married BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SLAYTON, I believe she was 2nd wife)that is all I know about her......as for my mother and her family, i don't know anything, have very litle info. Her name is ANNIS SHERYL (CHERLY) STANVECHEFSKI), On my sister's birth certicate it shows, STANVECHEFSKI-MARTIN....I'M HELPLESS AND HOPELESS

'Do not be afraid; simply have faith.'

Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you. PSALM 145:19

For every problem, every anxiety, every temptation, every sin in my life, there is a deliverer--Jesus Christ! Thank you, God, for your sacrifice, your love, your way to reach down and pull me up. Please forgive me and help me to stand sure-footed and steady on the Rock of my salvation and not to slip and fall into the mire of the world. Please, be in control

I'm looking forward to my first trip out there, although I'm certain to get sidetracked! One of the branches in the family tree was actually in the Mormons' migration West, and lived in the Salt Lake City area.

Even though it's not a direct line, I'm still fascinated by the story!

When I first started researching the family tree, I was lucky to find a distant cousin who had been working on genealogy for years. She kindly sent me all the information she had and now 15 years later my sister and I have added to it considerably. It's amazing how much you can find now on the 'web' now. When I first started I had to travel to places like the National Archives to learn anything.

Hello Ladies, I love to cross stitch and doing my family's genealogy. In fast I have cross stitched out 1 family tree already. It looks so pretty too.

Live 1 day at a time and live it to the fullest. Wish you all the best that life has to offer.... Stay focused, positive and it will get you where you want to be or done in life itself. My name is ERNA

Welcome Gail to the team! I'm the same way I have being researching both my Mom and Dad's side of the family. I have a big box full of files and on with all kinds of documents. I've been doing this for 20 years.

Hi, Gail & welcome. Genealogy is so fascinating. I have learned so much about my family. I have uncovered so much history that I could write a book! I love N.C.. My husband & I were married in Manteo & lived in Buxton (Hatteras Island) for a time.

I am new to Spark People and new to genealogy. I began my searching in Jan. of this year. I have been fortunate to "meet" cousins from my side of the family and my husbands. They have shared some information with me. I have been thoroughly bitten by the genealogy bug. It has become an addiction for me as well. I have to limit myself to only certain days of the week to spend on it. Otherwise nothing else is done around here. My name is Gail, I am retired and loving life in the mountains of NC. I was happy to find this interest group. I look forward to getting to know you all.
